After one of my biggest surprise of 2018 (not published but read in 2018) with The Dry (what a book!!), this one, Force of Nature, may be my biggest disappointment of the year!! Not even close to be in the same category then The Dry. Here are some points that made me dislike this book. The main character is the same has in The Dry, but failed to evolve and felt a bit short on reflexion or deeper though, we stay on the surface with him here, there his some small romance that could have bring some personal insight of him, but it didn't go anywhere... Second, the story is not thrilling, not creepy, and not good. We don't find ourself asking why all this is happening, everything happening seem forced into the story and unrealistic and the characters are so miserable that they could all die for all I care! Last point, in The Dry, yeah I know I compare again... we really feel the Australian atmosphere and it was a strong point in my reading experience. In this one, this could have happen anywhere and it wouldn't have done any difference. It look like a recipes book, where you take your check-list and follow (female characters checked, unreliable checked, family problems checked, etc.) and it look maybe a bit rush by the publisher that want to benefit from The Dry success... I don't know maybe I'm being paranoid here...anyway. I gave it three stars which is a bit generous I think, really close t be a two point five. It's not horrible, just below average and after a great book, my expectation were high and were not satisfied.
